Anon, the people here who actually read and have interest in literature also have friends in real life. The retard tourists who don’t read because they only want to politically shitpost also don’t have real friends and relationships

>>16189209
I actually don't have any real friends in real life. I live in middle America and there is no one with the same interests or hobbies in like a 100 mile radius.

>>16189216
I live in south america and I have friends with my same interests and as autistic as me
I don't know why americans can't have true friendship though

>>16189232
because they're either incredibly online or incredibly vapid individuals. Often Both.

It's harder for chan types because most of them can't compartmentalize irl and online so chimp out about retarded /pol/ shit and have warped expectations.

Faust is a real fucking 4chan book because Heinrich does literally nothing else then bargaining with himself and the world while projecting like a mf.
Still quality book tho

Hmm, real people are just much harder to talk to. I'd rather argue with imaginary characters inside my head.

Either way, I prefer books where the main character isn't somebody who has some social goal in mind, but rather is on the outside looking in. Relationships with other people aren't the only type of relationships there are - you can also have a relationship with the world, with God, with life in general. Recently I've been reading Lovecraft out of curiosity, and the horror and disgust depicted in those books is a type of a relationship, or an attitude that they have towards the world. All normal on the surface, but the harder you look, and the more you engage with it and discover, the more disturbing life becomes.

Imagine living in a world where nothing is within walking distance, cat calling women is considered borderline sexual assault, and ‘tu/vos’ has been exclusively replaced by ‘usted’ for all interactions including familial ones.
That is the life of most Anglos. Anglo American capitalism is a conspiracy to completely commodify all interpersonal relationships through clubs, bars, and pop music.
Idk about other people here but I don’t bother with social interactions or women because everyone my age is living in gated college communities and I don’t make enough money to go out bar hopping on weekends (or to afford the kind of apartment I could invite people over to).

>>16189193

Get a hobby, then meet with a group of like-minded individuals. You can pick everything and anything from a shooting range, bicycle riding groups, literature clubs, to watching anime - there are people who will want to meet up and do it IRL in a group.

anyone who stayed in high school long enough to get a yearbook and didn't get into a selective uni is a fucking midwit

intimacy isn't really apart of american culture, even the slightest intimate interaction is usually followed up some impersonal social gesture. are we afraid of latent homosexuality? did we take the bluepill on individualism? I don't know but it's not so bad once you get used to it and you can still have friendships that are meaningful and bring joy to your life. Most fags on here just can't into people so they cry

for most it's really just a problem that comes with age. you mostly only see your coworkers and family, and depending on your job it's difficult if not downright risky to get close to your coworkers. plus your old friends get busy with their lives and you don't see them as often (and then it's usually because they're looking for groomsmen)

Anybody else feel as if they're not suited to living?
As if life is just one giant, constant headache you just can't get rid off?

If I have one true desire, it is peace of mind.

Not a career, not a girlfriend, not a family, not money - all these things are just burdens and responsibilities. I don't really care about entertainment either, unless it helps me to block out thoughts, like temporary amnesia.
I want happiness, like at the end of a story, or rather, after the story has already ended. Even though, as far as the reader is concerned, the characters are as good as dead at that point - there will be no more adventures, no more struggles, no more pages with their name on them. Then, perhaps, I just have a death wish.

Still, I've been forcing myself to live.

However, it's as if I'm going against my own nature. For me, apathy and depression is the norm, but it's not like if I fight against them I'm suddenly happy. Rather, they're just briefly replaced by a constant struggle. And it's not like there ever will be an end of problems - life just never, ever, ends. No matter how much effort I'll put in, it will never be enough.

my interest in literature is a byproduct of my loneliness - needed some way to kill the time and after a while video games & cartoons ceased to stimulate

>>16192552
>kill the time
I don't get this attitude at all. For me, I read and enjoy all other media, as if I'm searching for something. Some unique perspective, secret knowledge, unknown beauty. It's like I'm convinced that there will be this special something in just the next book, or the next. Also, maybe it's like I'm learning something - how to think, or how other people think, what I like, how the world works.

>>16192607
i think i'm just being flippant because i'm depressed. i do recall that feeling of searching for something edifying or stimulating or beautiful or simply 'greater' - even as a cartoon / video game fanatic. it was that 'search' that led me elsewhere, namely literature, once i largely stopped finding all of the aforementioned in children's media (once i reached my late teens lol).

i don't think i really experience the 'search' anymore though - maybe in bits and pieces, as a sort of residue. now i read out of habit, and any edification or etc. - potent as it periodically is, in its moment - is an aftereffect.

What parties? What the eternal normalfag doesn't realize (or rather, chooses not to) is that their whole life, the whole set of options available to them at any given moment, is contingent upon circumstances that they had little part in bringing about, and more importantly, circumstances that one can't just change on a dime.
Imagine this: you're a friendless NEET. You're told to go out to parties. Where are you going to find them? As previously noted, you're friendless, and strangers aren't exactly swarming the streets inviting random people to parties. Are you supposed to go on parties.com or something and find some that way? News flash: there are no parties on parties.com; it's just a parked domain name.
The normalfag says "just go to parties" because for him, it's as simple as just going to parties. The option is always present because there will always be someone texting him "Hey, Brad's throwing a party at his place tonight, wanna come?" and all that he needs to do is show up. Whereas for the friendless NEET, to get to that point, you have to make friends from scratch first, which is a task far from trivial. How do you make friends? Uhh, go outside I guess. What do you do outside? Go to parties and meet people.
I'm far from the blackpill event horizon. I believe that there are ways for anyone, no matter how far gone, to pull themselves out of whatever hole of friendlessness and loneliness they're in. But what I don't believe is that pulling yourself out of that hole is easy. In fact, it's usually paralyzingly difficult. It takes more courage and self-worth than most people have, and definitely more than your average NEET has. In other words, if a normalfag were to one day be transported into the body of a socially awkward, ugly, friendless NEET, I imagine that not even he would be able to cure himself by his own prescriptions.
I don't know. It's just so tiresome.

>>16193373
how to go to parties

step 1: stop watching anime

>>16193373
It's like with NYE resolutions: only absolute freaks stick to them and change their lives.

>>16193373
Anon the redpill is that parties are shit, like really shit. You will never be a normalfag, nor could you ever be, take it from a failed normalfag. The first party I ever went to, I walked in and a girl came up and said "wow ur tall" unironically. I was at a lose for words. A million thoughts started running into my head
>Is she retarded?
>Am I even that tall?
>How do I even reply to something so idiotic?
>God I want my cock in his mouth.
>She would stop talking if that happened right?
>Fuck shes so annoying.
So I just walked away stunned because I didn't know what to do. Then I realized that this is the dialect of parties, short nonsensical retard shit. Everyone is like this at parties. You don't fit in here, you never will. You only fit in small groups of autistic nerds who have autistic hobbies like Warhammer 40k, reading books, anime, or some other cringe shit normalfags hate.

The last redpill is that when you get a normalfag 1 on 1 and drunk as hell, they are depressed. Every single one is just a pile of cope pretending they aren't one step away from killing themselves. They only exist because they think "at least I'm not a loner", when really they still are a loner because all their friends are fake and they know it.

>>16193460
>having an entire autistic meltdown because somebody told you that you're tall

>>16193460
No parties aren't shit. Anything that involves any kind of healthy social interaction between people of the same age cannot be shit. The alternative to this is being alone for the rest of your probably short life.

>>16189209
most of my friends are too fucking dumb to understand what im reading so I can't really discuss it with them

Epic projection faggot.
Most sexuality in the western world now exists behind a screen, either entirely in the form of cooming or hookups initiated via apps. Or otherwise consumerized in the form of clubs and bars.
And it has never been easier in human history for any man to have sex, to the point that literal state-dependant invalids in some European countries receive allowances so they can go fuck a whore, like any man who could scrounge up some pocket change can.

The big, fat issues are the breakdown of long term relationships, retarded gender dynamics, decreasing fertility, and the fact that we as a civilization can't biologically propagate ourselves. And if you speak on these issues you're simply dismissed as le incel by some woman or a tranny.

>>16193475
>The alternative to this is being alone for the rest of your probably short life.

>>16193468
I've had a girl tell me I have nice teeth before, they are shocking retarded. Like how do I reply to such low IQ nonsense? They are all this retarded, partially the fault of alcohol, partial normalfaggotry. Parties are shit.

>>16193475
Parties are for moronic faggots to pretend alcohol made them retarded. Small groups of autists are good, being alone even better.

>>16189193
People with friends and fornicators can't into friendship and sex respectively. Normalfags are actors. Autistic people are literally more alive and alive on different levels than normies. Normies are "sunk" (versenke) in life. They never distinctly and finally hew concrete concepts off from the immanent roil of their affects, emotions, hunches, and background normie gestalten providing them endless social cues and clues to follow.

If you observe normies closely over many years you will notice they don't actually add things together to form a whole internal model of the world, distinct from the world and clashing against it and continuously reforming under new circumstances. They "best-guess" everything at a merely social level. Their primary instinct is "I done seen this situation before! I recognize this! I saw the prestigious chimp with the expensive haircut respond to this situation by saying 'Hey man, that's not cool, you might upset somebody by saying that, you should bow to the discomfort of the herd and relax. Haha you think too much bro relax. Don't be arrogant! We're all just average at the end of the day! LOL!" That's how they navigate the world, they dully, loosely compare "this situation" (again, as a lumpy blob of affects, social cues, and hunches aimed at avoiding reproach by the mob) to "other situations like this" and then their brain automatically has cached all the stuff that the coolest, tallest, best-dressed normie prole did in that situation, and they unconsciously channel that other Top Normie's behaviours so that they can be cool too.

If they succeed and their invocation is accepted by the mob, they bask in having been Top Cool Normie for a brief moment. If they fail, they cringe and grovel before the mob, with no thought of rejecting its judgment. They never create that internal model of the world, of "what's right" or "what's objectively true," so each experience is drawn from and returns right back to their vague roiling blob of social behaviours. They don't build on the experience and create new concepts or anything.

Normie consciousness is absolutely phenomenologically distinct. Just realize that das Man or Gasset's mass man are sociological heuristics for describing real ways of being in the world, and then plug that way of being in the world into any critical theory of stultification like Adorno's culture industry. The culture industry is one parasitic giant machine designed to take normie hyperpeasant pre-conceptual consciousness and metastasize it. Take the average person's pathetic cringing fear of being different or excluded, their barely-human, mostly animal "MUST APPEASE HERD" roil of affects and social cues, and plug it into a giant network of social structures designed to reinforce it, appease it, flatter it, make it worse in every way.

>>16193514
It's just a compliment anon, why do you sperg out? You say "thank you" and make a joke or something. They might be dumb or not, but you aren't much better for making a snap judgment over something so trivial that's meant to just start a conversation. What else are going to comment on other than your appearance if they don't even know you? Holy hell.

>>16193373
>>16193460
Literally just fuck whores and devote your life to whatever you fancy. Go make friends with small groups of autists with similar interests for social interaction.
Most normalfags, as has been said, are coping and generally fucked up retards. Maybe some strike gold and have fulfilling lifelong intimate relationships. Most cycle through ultimately worthless girlfriends who dump them after a couple years or get stuck in a miserable marriage where they can get divorce raped at any moment.

Literally, just fuck whores. If you even want sex that is. It has never been easier, safer, cleaner or more accessible.

>>16193539
>Literally just fuck whores
Why would I degrade myself into being a whoremongerer? Why do you normalfags see this glorified masturbation as desirable? You reduce sex to something closer to a bowel movement than a transcendental act. I can only guess that you degrade yourself with another because you get off on the shame -- or worse, you have internalized sex as a commodity for social and regular capital and are just "going with the flow" like the hylic normal nigger you are.

The problem with thinking like this is that I'm then just looking for someone to fill some vague category of a 'friend' for the sake of it. Necessity is no basis for a friendship for me
Anyone who tells you to get better friends so you won't be lonely is projecting their own fear of loneliness onto you. If you can manage without then do it. Don't seek friends because other people would be lonely in your position

>>16193577
Anyone who reduces people to functional castes will never be able to comprehend any form of love. They will never have a friend, because they are used purely as tools for whatever generic traits they project onto the surface. They do not value the essence of the person, the relationship begins and ends with "we both like book" looking for someone with a shared hobby or interest is looking for someone who can be replaced.

>Why are they always soulless bug people with nothing to talk about besides "muh travel" (aka sitting on a beach taking selfies).?

They aren't being sincere, this is dating site talk, people have enough humility that they find it embarrassing to talk about themselves or their interests, you get to know people by actually spending long periods of time with them, even woman hate marketing themselves. "travel" just signals that they are safe because they understand how this all works, rather than some neurotic borderline autistic.

>Why would I care about what some random whore thinks of my physical appearance?

>omg wtf so crazy you must be a hermit!!

imagine this reaction to telling people they don't need to do drugs. Infact, it's even worse because you can still "get high" if you wanted to by just masturbating when it comes to sex.

I don't see why any of you want to fuck whores. Aren't they disgusting? Aren't they beneath you? Do you not feel ashamed giving yourself up to them? You take meaningless sex to be some sort of compulsory need. You've bought into sex being an essential commodity. Literally just don't have sex if you can't have actual sex you pathetic compensating basedboy. You treat having sex with whores the same way some geek would treat seeing the latest marvel movie. It's something they have to do because it's tradition and expected of them.

Firstly, ejaculation is an addiction that gets worse the more you do it, if you actually wanted to be bothered by wanting to coom less you would just stop cooming as much.

Second of all
>what is masturbation

You don't need to have sex with a whore. it's fucking disgusting and pathetic. I'm naive for thinking by whore you meant typically serial monogamy, but even worse you are actually paying for sex (which isn't even actual sex)

The process of finding, paying for,traveling to, and having sex with a whore is absolutely not an "an astoundingly simple solution to an immediate problem" even from some soulless bugman utilitarian perspective when you could just jerk off.

You have an extremely low self worth and are incapable of finding "love" even if you were born into some society that fostered such relationships. You are such a normalnigger that's so drunk on the propaganda machine you even see "good wife" as a commodity.

Cooming inside a whore is higher then masturbation, this has always been understood.

Nigger, we were born a couple generations after thousands of years of patriarchal tradition was undone. Yeah, that sucks. Like I said, if you were sincere you'd be an ascetic in the mountains or in some insular religious sect trying to recreate a tradition life. Not spazzing out on an anime imageboard.

>>16191224– a thoroughly cringe post! A thing like that ought to be deleted!

And what happens when someone abandons it by choice

The thing is parties are usually really trash. You just listen to some shitty pop or nigger rap that is so loud you cant hear shit while trying to get drunk. You are honestly not missing anythint, I wish my grouo of friends still wanted to play board games instead desu

Yea or even just some shitty card games, anything really. Best I can do is convince them to go to a billiards place once in a blue moon.

>step 1: stop watching anime
I usually talk about anime with my friends at parties though

I'm like this too. I can't pretend in social interactions either, my internal dialogue shuts me down. I stay true to myself, v quiet and introverted.
Although concerning women, I'm starting to omitt the weirder parts of my personality, humour, keep silent on certain topics to play the part of a socialised normie.
This was only a recent realisation (past week) because although I'm v attractive to women, I would repel them by being too cringe,not that I cared either.
Act according to the times albeit, with a hint of irony.
This advice is mainly for autistic, attractive individuals

>there's a successful version of me imagining the real me as some sort of horrific alternate universe.
Kick that fuckers ass. Why would you lose to some normie? If I found love in high school, if I didn't stay alone afterwards - I would be a shallower person, no doubt about it.
I wouldn't get into literature, music, art. I would stay a perma STEM-idiot bugman. Even if I had a wife and kids by now, it would be a lesser existence than to what I am now. I could come up to that successful fucker and make him kill himself from jealousy. I would show him all the shit I've made, stuff he couldn't even imagine. I AM THE BEST TIMELINE.

>>16195621
Well, anon? What have you made?

>>16195682
Things that make me proud.
Although desu the person I actually dread to meet the most is me from a timeline where I give everything just a little bit more effort. Probably everyone thinks that though.

damn dude that's fuckin sad. Had a similar experience but I simply couldn't find her number bc she ripped off a tiny bit of paper which is impossible to find once it's lost. she was the first and only girl to show even the slightest bit of interest in me. sigh

If you've spent any time on this board, you'd realize most people here read almost exclusively philosophy or other nonfiction. That stuff only focuses on the inner thoughts of the writer. That's not to mention that many pieces of famous literature (I'm thinking of Dostoyevsky in particular) mainly focus on the internal thoughts of the character(s). I would guess Raskolnikov lived a pretty similar day-to-day life (minus the murder) to most of the people on this board (uncleanly, constantly absorbed in their own thoughts, etc).

This man says what we're all thinking. /lit/ is the white man's board.

You are a cancer.

>>16189193
Because everyone here is starved for human interaction so they use Lit as a cope making up for the affection they lack in real life

>>16198367
Yeah there's plenty of lit that appeals, often, to more isolated people. Lit featuring extremely isolated and alienated protagonists or focused on themes of alienation, suffering, etc.: Dosto, Kafka, etc.
I think it's also true that someone can be super isolated and still like Art involving social interaction or relationships.
I'm a super isolated person with no friends and I love Jane Austen.
